Ambience. How do you review ambient records? Put on your best beard and stroke it firmly but slowly? I must have a troubled mind for I get massively soothed by this sort of thing. A CD has landed in my knarled fist from Oophoi called 'An Aeriel View'. 65 mins of drifting theremin and stress devouring synth. It's got that Biosphere/Brian Eno touch I like so much. It's involving, very moving yet absolutely un-intrusive, incidental music for the calmest recesses of your soul. This 1 track could put the world to rights I reckon. If you've checked out & liked stuff on Geir Jenssen's Biophon imprint then this lovely chunk of audio bliss on Glacial Movements could just be your hour long ride out of this crazy mixed up muddled up world for the week! "When I’ve been asked to describe the Ice Age with an uninterrupted drone, I knew I wanted to avoid the cliches of the genre: dark rumblings, massive low frequencies, cold atmospheres. I had to describe with sounds the white landscape, the blinding light reflected by the frozen oceans, the abyssal silence.I have imagined myself in flight over this Sleeping Earth, a solitary winged-being surrounded by winds, air, water and ice. This led me to compose an airy drone with minimal variations and delicate tones, an hommage to a pure, incontaminated and remote land.
Oophoi, winter 2007"
